Merck admits the vaccine Gardasil, can cause faints and seizures

Due to the high volume of reports of young girls fainting and have ‘non epileptic’ seizures after the Gardasil vaccine, Merck have conceded to include these side effects to their packaging and labelling as from 9th June 2009.

“On June 9, 2009, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a revised label for Gardasil, a vaccine to protect against cervical, vulvar and vaginal cancers caused by Human Papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18 and genital warts caused by HPV types 6 and 11. In the new label, information pertaining to syncope (fainting) is now also included in the Warnings and Precautions section, and this section has new information noting that individuals who faint sometimes have tonic-clonic (jerking) movements and seizure-like activity. The addition of syncope to the Warnings and Precautions section emphasizes that healthcare providers and consumers should be alert that fainting may occur following vaccination with Gardasil, sometimes resulting in falling and injuries. To prevent falls and injuries all vaccine recipients should remain seated or lying down and be closely observed for 15 minutes following vaccination.”

This minor change has taken the drug giants three whole years to put into place, although fainting was included in the small print in 2007. Merck have stated that these seizures are not epileptic in nature, however, even they have to admit that a faint followed by tonic-clonic movement and seizure like activity, which ever way they dress it up, is really saying in the broad sense, a child could have a ‘Grand Mal Seizure’ after having a Gardasil vaccination. This is especially important as many girls have gone on to be diagnosed as epileptic after having Gardasil vaccines. Girls like Katherine Kimzey, a 14-year-old girl who experienced headaches, fainting, and stiff joints after receiving the second shot of her three-dose Gardasil vaccine battery. A few weeks later, Katherine had a seizure and was eventually diagnosed with epilepsy. Katherine is one girl of many who has encourntered a serious adverse reaction after receiving Gardasil. I believe that Merck are becoming very worried indeed if they have suddenly decided to take the unusual step of altering labels and packaging. Are they running scared perhaps?

The Epilepsy Foundation seem to describe a Grand Mal Seizure, in the same way as Merck are now describing on their new labelling. So what causes a seizure, epileptic or otherwise? Many people are confused and do not understand the difference between the terms “seizure” and “epilepsy”. A person can have a single seizure without going on to develop Epilepsy. A seizure is simply caused by an abnormal electrical discharge in the brain. So what is causing seizures in the girls receiving the Gardasil vaccination?

Dr Andrew Moulden feels he knows and gives a very comprehensive explanation in his three DVD’s as Sandra Chevalier-Batik explains in her article Can Dr Andrew Moulden Change CDC Childhood Immunisation Policy She explains that Dr. Moulden says the shots cause our body´s own immune systems to hyper-react as large white blood cells naturally rush to attack the foreign particles injected into our bloodstream. Well that does make sense as vaccines have been linked to seizures as far back as 1950.

Vaccines and adverse reactions to vaccines have been linked to seizures for years. One of the earliest professionals to spot a connection was a Prof Gordon Stewart. Professor Stewart first spoke of his concerns in 1950 His main work was surrounding the Whooping Cough and DPT vaccine. Over the years he has written letter after letter raising concerns to the Department of Health and the Government. Most of his concerns were ignored but they were discussed at meetings involving the Joint Sub Committee on Adverse Reactions to Vaccination and Immunisation. Professor Gordon Stewart’s views make him unconventional among medical men but his opinions and advice are of great importance to the parents of children who are candidates for whooping cough vaccine. Vaccination to Professor Stewart spells one word and that is ‘danger’. Many doctors and professionals agree with him and have been writing letters expressing their concerns about vaccines and patients having seizures for many years.

Here are just a few of the long list of professionals raising concerns:-

Harris L. Coulter, Ph.D – S.I.D.S and Seizures

Baraff LJ et al (1988). Infants and children with convulsions and hypotonic-hyporesponsive episodes following diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis immunization: follow-up evaluation. Pediatrics 81(6):789-94 1988. Department of Pediatrics, University of California, Los Angeles, School of Medicine.

This will be Dr. Moulden´s second interview on KRFC FM. During the first on June 1, he explained how and why all vaccines cause neurological damage. Thousands of people listened to the interview since news of the program spread throughout the Autism and Gardasil communities. One of the most stunning comments that Dr. Moulden issued is that everyone has been “vaccine damaged” in one form or another. He believes that the high incidences of cancers, elderly neurological problems, immune disorders and other diseases are due to processes that have already been put into place after an inoculation. Repeated vaccinations only speed along the processes by which vaccine induced damage – which, according to Dr. Moulden are “cumulative, summative and additive,” leading to a myriad of pathological problems that are now pervasive to society.

Based on Dr. Moulden´s theory the burden of responsibility to prove vaccine damage will be taken out of the hands of the so-called “isolated pockets” of children and their parent´s into a larger realm of brain injury and disease that has affected millions of vaccinated people worldwide. This is an important point since the U.S. and other countries including the U.K., are currently considering mandating compulsory vaccination laws enforced by later on this year.

On Monday, July 6, Toni Blake J.D., M.A., who jointly owns and operates SBS Defenese.com with 2nd Chair Services will be interviewed on behalf parents who have been falsely accused of Shaken Baby Syndrome due to pre-existing neurological conditions that may have occurred post-vaccination.This is another aspect of vaccine injury involving the innocent families of brain-damaged infants that is rarely explored, although professionals have tried in the past to raise their concerns and have been ignored.

Lisa Blakemore-Brown, Charles Pragnell, Clifford Miller, Harold Buttram, Michael Innis, Viera Scheibner PhD are just a few of the professionals that have become increasingly concerned about the rising number of parents falsely accused of child abuse when their child becomes vaccine damaged.

Ms. Blake is a Juris Doctorate, has a Masters in Cognitive Social Psychology and is an Associate Professor of Psychology with an extensive research background in jury decision-making and cognitivepsychology in the courtroom. She is the author of and has published numerous books and articles. The Chicago Union Tribune, DISCOVER Magazine, Washington University Law Review, and American Association of Physicians and Surgeons have covered Ms. Blake´s research. She has been a guest lecturer for law schools, bar associations and medical conventions. Some of Ms. Blake´s high profile cases have appeared on Court TV, Dateline, 20/20, as well as in other international media outlets and television shows.

With all this going on is it any wonder the drug companies are beginning to get a little nervous? I.C.A.P is another organisation that has also been working very hard behind the scenes, raising awareness to the problems associated with both Gardasil and the Cervarix vaccine. I.C.A.P or the International Coalition of Advocates for the People, began as a group of seven women in four countries who decided to join forces to promote change.

Serious Concerns regarding the safety and efficacy of the HPV Vaccines

Dear friends, associates and all other esteemed individuals,

I am part of an international group from the United States, United Kingdom and the Netherlands. The documents which are attached represent our three countries. These documents have gone to 13 scientists from the Robert Koch Institute, Health Minister of Germany, as well as to the Commissioners of STIKO. We felt it was important to highlight the serious problems which are occurring all over the world (Australia, New Zealand also have problems) and to bring to the attention of the fact, that in the United States and Europe, there have been deaths and in all these cases the girls had been given their vaccinations. The United Kingdom has been fortunate so far, to the best of our knowledge, not to have any deaths reported but there have been several cases of paralysis which are identified in the UK Report.

We intend to prove that the serious health concerns that are becoming evident due to Gardasil and Cervarix around the world are valid.You will see that the studies themselves will prove the lack of efficacy and the increased risks to the health of our young people Also entered into this report are communications with the lead researcher for both Gardasil and Cervarix. Included are reports of young girls and women who have had serious adverse effects and deaths with unknown etiology from the United States and Europe. Attached is a video of Karen Maynor who lost her daughter after receiving the Gardasil vaccination.This mother is trying to come to terms with the fact that the post mortem determination is unknown.

We also want you to know that an inquiry was done by the researchers in the United States as to the overall health and activity level of the affected young people pre-vaccination. The results of the inquiry and investigation that ensued are startling. It has been determined that the young people most likely to be affected are very active, athletic and high achievers or have a serious weight problem. A subset of the affected received the vaccination when they were at the pre-menstrual time of their cycle. What these three groups have in common is that estrogen, which we know protects the brain from stroke, is decreased leaving the brain more susceptible to damage of the capillaries and the neurotoxin Aluminum.

Thousands of young girls and women are experiencing severe adverse events and their quality of life is vastly diminished around the world from Gardasil and Cervarix HPV vaccines.

We do so hope you will read our submission and if you wish to ask any questions of the authors, email addresses have been provided.

Sincerely,

Cynthia Janak

It is early days for this organisation but already they have had nothing but praise. The group has had acknowledgement from the press and Governments and has been highly praised with some very positive comments, especially from some of the mothers of vaccine damaged children. Two of the members, myself and Freda Birrell were highlighted in an article in a Scottish Newspaper saying:-

“The International Coalition of Advocates for the People (ICAP) – a group raising concerns of the safety and efficacy of Cervarix and its rival, Gardasil, to health ministers and researchers worldwide – want a thorough investigation into the vaccine The organisation successfully lobbied the health minister and medical experts in Germany. Now the country’s Federal Joint Committee, which decides on the formula for the country’s social insurance system, has called for all recommendations on Cervarix and Gardasil to be revised and demanded a new report based on detailed evidence.

Campaigners are concerned about the long-term effectiveness and safety of the vaccine. Six families in England are taking legal action against the maker of Cervarix, GlaxoSmithKline, after serious side-effects they claim are linked to the vaccine.

Freda Birrell and Christina England from ICAP said: “We would welcome a decision by the Scottish and UK governments to put a hold on Cervarix and to carry out a similar thorough investigation as is now being carried out in Germany.”

Since this new revelation by Merck I.C.A.P have written further letters and reports to the 13 German Scientists.

Isn’t it time that both Merck and GSK took a step further than just changing labels and packaging which only the medical profession gets to see? It is a great gesture but surely these young girls deserve more than just the drugs companies protecting their own backs what about these same drug companies trying to protect the children themselves, that would be a far greater gesture.

I have had seizures blurred vision, fatigue, weakness, dizzy spells headaches, feel sick all the time it’s awful. Haven’t had seizures for a few years still having side effects though. Does get worse around menstrual. Awful shot

Hi, Kaitlyn. Yes, side effects from Gardasil do get worse right before women get their periods. And yes, awful shot. Are you seeking medical help? Am willing to consult with you if you need some support.

Hi..My 16 year old daughter started having very bad dizzy and fainting spells approximately two months ago not too long after her 2nd Gardasil shot..as of lately they have gotten to be more frequently and she becomes extremely shaky..The school nurse said it looked like she was seizing..She was rushed to the hospital on Tuesday and they said they found nothing..Then again today i get a call from her school saying it happened again, and has requested she stays home for a few days as they are scared she will get hurt..her school is a 3 story old building. My daughter has been going through therapy and they say it is not stress.I am currently waiting for a referral to go through for her to see a Neurologist. My daughter is very upset and just really wants to know what is going on with her. Her primary doctor just keeps telling us not to stress it is common in her age..Really? to pass out and go into violent shaking episodes almost daily? My daughter has never stressed over any tests and makes awesome grades. Can Gardasil cause anything like this? I feel so helpless because i cannot seem to get her doctor to really listen without making feel like we are wasting her precious time. Any info will help.

Hello, Pam – your daughter is experiencing an adverse reaction to the Gardasil vaccine. What she is experiencing is not normal. Please visit http://sanevax.org. They have a list of physicians who are treating many girls with similar situations including seizures caused by Gardasil. There are many groups on Facebook filled with parents and daughters who have experienced adverse reactions – many of them violent and unrelenting seizures. Many girls do recover after time.

Feel free to email me privately at leslie@holyhormones.com and I will be glad to schedule a time to speak with you via phone or by Skype.

Hi Pam,
My daughter is going through the same thing. She had her 3rd Gardasil shot in August and started having seizures in September. We took her to Children’s Hospital in Pittsburgh and they diagnosed her with Functional Neurological Disorder. They told us the seizures are caused by stress. I don’t believe this for one minute. I’ve been researching like crazy and I totally believe the seizures have something to do with the Gardasil shot. She was a healthy 15 year old girl who made wonderful grades, played basketball and soccer and loved life. Now we try every day for her to make it through just one or two periods at school. Some days she can do it and other days the school calls me to come because she is in a seizure. I’ve had to take time off from my job of 20 years because I have to be available at a moments notice to run to the school to get her. The school has been outstanding with trying to help us. When the seizures first started they would call the ambulance every time because it was so scary and of course they didn’t want to be responsible if something happened to her. Now they are great with handling the seizures. We have a home school teacher come to the house to keep her caught up on her work. She is unable to play basketball. She has absolutely no energy and wants to sleep a lot. Besides the seizures she has a variety of other symptoms too. She’s had two EEG”s done, a CT scan of her head, MRI of her head, EKG’s, and tons of blood work. None of the tests show anything abnormal. The doctor has put her on anxiety medication, but all it does is make her drowsy. I feel helpless too. I just wanted you to know you are not alone. If I find any new information, I’ll come back to this site to pass it along to you.
Best Regards,
Staci

Staci – Apologies for not getting back sooner. I am in touch with many families whose daughters have been injured by Gardasil. Please feel free to reach out to me at leslie@holyhormones.com. I would love to know how you are faring and if I can provide more resources. Leslie

They claimed my daughters seizures, tremors and partial parylisys after her first shot of gardasil was due to stress as well. The only side effects I got the doctors to admit to was the severe joint pain, headaches, rash and nausea. There is no way I believe that my daughters( and so many others), seizure like symptoms and tremors is all in her head! This vaccine has done something to my daughter and just bc they can’t figuer out what has happened bc they refuse to keep looking, doesn’t mean it’s all in her head.
I can tell you that four years have now gone by and she’s doing a lot better, so there is hope.

So many other mothers and their daughters and sons need to know that time heals. But it is a long process. We believe the aluminum has a lot to do with the seizures – just as in young children suffering from seizures post-vaccination. A great resource on aluminum and the brain is the Children’s Medical Safety Research Institute.

Hi there,
I’m not sure if you’re still on this site, if you are I’d like to ask your opinion on my beautiful daughter who is 24 and has been suffering from absent seizures in silence, since the third gardasil shot in 2008.
Seven weeks after that shot she had a strange sensation move up her spine from the bottom to the Base of her neck, very painful burning liquid, she described to me, stomach cramps, then eyesight and hearing loss, stiff legs and arms then a faint/ seizure. I called the ambulance, nothing was found, although they did no tests !!!
She had many strange events some with short black outs, she didn’t tell me as she felt it was a bit weird….. until Feb 2017 where she had a major aura whilst driving, crashed her car and since then has had many absent seizures plus tonic clonic and limb jerks. Insomnia, anxiety and depression.
I also have vivid memories of personality / character change at the same time as this vaccination, I always said it was like a switch went off but didn’t put two and two together until now.
All epilepsy tests have come back negative and she has been diagnosed with pseudo seizures and referred to a physiatrist!!! We didn’t go, instead are seeking alternative healthcare. Detox aluminum.
My daughter is struggling and so am I, not sure where to go next.
Can you be cured of these adverse reactions?? Currently seeing a kinesiologist ( my daughter is loosing hope )
Thank you for listening ( we’re in Brisbane Australia)

Hello, Linda – I am so sorry that I did not see this earlier. Yes I am still on this site. Am very distressed about what your daughter is going through. The best place to receive information about Gardasil is from sanvevax.org There are many women in Australia who are active on this issue. One is Helen Lobato and she just wrote a book about it. Her email address is helobato@gmail.com. I believe she might have a network of care providers who may be able to help your daughter. We are seeing so many similar symptoms in girls in the US and elsewhere around the world.

I had my first seizure 2 months after i got the third injection and then the neurologist put me on the generic brand of topamax i then had another seizure 2 months later and the neurologist upped the medication then i had another seizure 1 month later and he upped my medication again could this be because of the shot i’m tired of taking medication every morning and night please help!!!!

Hello, Lara – I am so sorry your are experiencing seizures post-Gardasil. I believe the toxins in the vaccine have interfered with your neural pathway functioning. We are highly concerned about the aluminum in the vaccine as well – especially in a three-shot series. Many girls are experiencing seizures and migraines. Britt Fiste – who is now in her late 20’s was experiencing multiple seizures on a daily basis for years. She has so many other side effects as well. In the last 6 months Britt has used an earthing mat – and she has been seizure free for about 4 or 5 months.

I just found you on Facebook and sent you a friend request. If you accept, I can put you in touch with other girls afflicted by Gardasil – including Britt Fiste. Britt is a lovely young woman whose aim is to now help others who are struggling with adverse reactions to Gardasil.

I had my first absence seizure 3 months after the third injection,1 month later i had a grand mal,i was put on tegretol and was still having absence seizures along with eye fluttering,then april 10th i had another grand mal,then was put on keppra,is september of that year i had another grand mal,and on october yet another grand mal,now im on keppra 4000mg a day plus 250mg zarontin,if this is the case with gardasil, is there anyway i can get it out of my system, i want my life back,please help,thanks melanie

I am so sorry to hear about your experience with Gardasil.
I am assuming that you have never had these types of seizures before…..
Question have you noticed whether the seizures occur closer to your menstrual cycle?

And now for your question – how can you get these toxins out of your system.
It will take awhile – but it is being done.
I do not know where you live- however, chiropractors who are into detoxing and building up the immune system are a great resource. Especially the Maximized Living Chiros.

I highly recommend Dr. Joe Arvay out of Denver. I have interviewed Dr. Arvay on my radio show – and he is working with many Gardasil girls with great success. He also does phone consultations and will assist you in finding a chiro in your area. http://www.maximizedlivingdrarvay.com/
His email address is: info@spinegeek.com

Most of the girls who are having success in getting the toxins out of their bodies – have switched their diets to organic, whole foods, non-processed gluten free. It appears to be working.

Also there is an informative support on Yahoo called Lets_Talk_About_Gardasil@yahoogroups.com This is a group of mothers and their daughters who communicate regularly about the vaccine – and what works and does not. You will find that you are not alone – and you can feel free to follow the threads and ask any question that you might have.

Also there is another site called injuryboard.com where you can post your story.

Please, please stay in touch – and let me know if you are doing any of the above. Having a support group of women to help you is very empowering. And also contact Dr. Arvay – even call him – his phone number is on the web site.

Please let me know if there is anything else that I can do for you.
And if you notice that the seizures are coming prior to or during menstruation – please let me know on that one too.
